lyrics

I'M TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER
WHEN CHARLTON HESTON MADE THAT ONE INDEPENDENT FILM
THE ONE THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN
ABOUT WHEN HE TRAVELS THROUGH OUTER SPACE
AND FINDS A PLANET FILLED
WITH DEMON FLOWERS AND GIANT VENUS FLY TRAPS
WITH DEMON FLOWERS AND ALL KINDS OF WEIRD GIANTS PLANTS

SOME FILM BUFFS HAVE ARGUED THAT IT'S HIS BEST ROLE SINCE "SOYLENT GREEN"
I PERSONALLY CAN'T COMMENT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN
THE FILM WE'RE DISCUSSING WHERE CHARLTON HESTON TRAVELS THROUGH OUTER SPACE
AND LANDS ON A PLANET FILLED WITH VENUS FLY TRAPS

ONE MORE TRIP LIKE THIS AND I'LL NEVER FLY AGAIN
IN MY N.R.A. SANCTIONED SPACECRAFT
THE MATERIALISTIC MISSIONS THAT PLAGUE HUMANKIND
WE INVADE AND CONQUER OTHER HABITABLE PLANETS

I, CHARLTON HESTON, DECLARE THAT THIS PLANET OF DEMON FLOWERS
IS NOW THE PROPERTY OF THESE UNITED STATES
AND MY FIRST ACT AS STANDING KING OF THIS NEW WORLD
IS TO SIGN THIS CONSTITUTION WITH MY COLD DEAD HAND
